I am horrible when it comes to eating. Either I eat well or a eat horrible. If I'm eating horribly, I'm eating everything in sight. I snack. I snack all the time. I keep snacks in my classroom - and when I say snack I don't mean apples and grapes - I'm talking JUNK: salt and vinegar Pringles, Chocolate Chip Blue Bell ice cream, twizzlers. I can always find a way to justify eating it: "I'll run a mile tonight" (I don't), "I'll start my diet Monday" (it's over by Tuesday). It never fails. I eat and I sit. It's a cycle.
Time to end that cycle! This is the time it's over! Yesterday I finished off my ice cream and Pringles. These are my two huge vices. It's not that I'll never have them again, but I'm 'taking a break' from them until July. I'm sure they'll understand.
I recieve a CSA order each Wednesday - local fruits and vegetables. From this day forward, I will no longer purchase junk or crap. I will eat things from my CSA share instead.
PROBLEM: I hate veggies and many fruits.
It's going to take a lot of practice cooking to turn this stuff into stuff I like! But here is to a new journey and a new (healthier) me!
My CSA for this week:
My breakfast today: Julienned sweet potatoes and farm fresh eggs.
This was really good! I should have put the potatoes in the oven to make them crispier.
My lunch: Zuchinni Noodles and Teriyaki Chicken
This was not good. Zuchinni was yuck! I'm not a fan. The chicken was okay, but I should have seasoned it better.
I have a craving for more food. I'm not necessarily hungry - just want to eat. Thankfully - there's nothing in the house to eat! If I was hungry, I'd cook. Since I just want to mindlessly snack, I will not eat randomly. I have grapes and peaches I could snack on, but I don't really want those.
TIP ONE: Don't keep temptations in the house!
